audiodave Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Not to be flippant but, does anyone still listen to the radio? It might be hard to sell the rights to the radio broadcast if there's no one listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's hockey season and a game on the radio. Edited September 11, 2022 by Ghostsof1915 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal:thecup Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 If they could sync it properly with the TV broadcast, they would capture a lot more listeners. Especially when The Crotch Watcher is on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS4quality Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I listen at work a lot. It's but I am used to listening to games from childhood and not having cable until later in life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't have cable growing up in the bush, but me and the old man listened to a ton of radio. I probably listen to half the games working in the shop instead of watching them. I really hope they get a deal done. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never did that but I did have one that cut short the recording by a random amount every time. That was neat! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, more likely to listen than watch actually, oftentimes it's more of a commitment to sit down and watch whereas I can just putter around doing other things with it being in the background 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBackup Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) I don’t know how many listen to the game on actual terrestrial radio at this point, so 650 should take what they can get. Their real value is in their shows, which is basically limited to Halford (not Brough) and Sat and Dan. Of course those guys could always go the podcast route and potentially make more money. It’s pretty weird to me that 650 is essentially the only game in town for sports broadcasts and yet can’t secure the rights.

I work nights 1/2 the time so I listen on the radio 1/2 the games that are on weeknights I think there are many others that do as well and when they are driving also 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuned in to 650 today for a replay of Halford and Brough and then some Toronto based Blue Jays talk. They lose the rights, may as well close up shop. Won’t be losing much, anyway…and Halford and Brough, the only thing palatable on 650 would likely join the Vancouver sports podcast ranks - instantly becoming the best of the bunch. They guys that come on after Halford & Brough are hard to listen to from 650 baseball talk..lol..lol.. Turn off 650 right away... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
